Court grants liberty to petitioners to leave open contentions in light of infructuous claims.
Headnote:Section Analysis; The present case concerns a writ petition where the petitioners assert that the specific prayers have become infructuous. Upon review, the court determines the petition could be closed with liberty granted to petitioners to raise fresh contentions. Issues framed include the status of the original claims. The court's reasoning indicates prioritization of actionable claims and procedural efficiency. Final outcome: 'Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed.'
JUDGMENT
When this Writ Petition came up for consideration, the counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the prayers in this Writ Petition have become infructuous and, therefore, the Writ Petition may be closed, granting liberty to the petitioners to leave open their contentions if there is any fresh cause of action.
Liberty is granted.
Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed.
